Steffen Schmidt - March 30, 2023
Spezia vs Salernitana
Italian Serie A
Date: 2 April 2023, Sunday
Kick-off at 14:00 UK / 15:00 CET
Venue: Stadio Alberto Picco (La Spezia).
Spezia ended their three-game unbeaten streak two weeks ago when they fell 1-0 away at Sassuolo. Leonardo Semplici’s men defended well on the occasion but got unlucky to concede the only goal from the penalty spot late in the second half.
Spezia will be looking to bounce back on Sunday afternoon when they host bottom-half rivals Salernitana in Gameweek No 28.
The two teams sit right next to each other in the Serie A table with four points separating them.
Spezia are also just one position above the red zone but with a healthy five-point advantage on Hellas Verona after 27 rounds of the competition.
Spezia have certainly improved their displays since appointing Semolici as the new head coach. The 2-1 win over Inter Milan in the previous home match serves as the best proof.
Salernitana have extended their streak of draws to three after a 2-2 stalemate against Bologna two weeks ago in Salerno.
Paulo Sousa’s men are now unbeaten in four straight league outings, a run that includes a 1-1 draw to AC Milan at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza as well as a 3-0 drubbing of Monza in Salerno.
Salernitana also have just one defeat in the previous four away matches in the league and we by no means see them as the underdogs in this matchup.
Salernitana have a horrendous away record against Spezia but they have been very to beat lately and we see the value in backing them to leave Stadio Alberto Picco unbeaten at the odds of 1.66 on Sunday.
Also, both Spezia and Salernitana look incapable of keeping things quiet at the back these days. Knowing five of the last six H2H affairs between these rivals brought goals at both ends, we will back this scenario at the lucrative 1.90 odds.
